You all know how back in our break rooms there is a bulletin board for the union right? Usually it is cluttered with outdated stuff some of it offering various opportunities to attend union functions at a union hall over 100 miles away. They have stuff like Euker, billiards & texas holdem tour...
I received a note to file for not completing a qmsr (shelf review) for my department. Granted, one was done earlier in the day. It was not a good one, according to my manager. She explained to me that I needed to complete another one before I left and change the balances and fix the minimums. I hadn't worke...
Got to work today and went to the breakroom and went to clock in and there was no time clock. It was removed and now all employees must use the time clock in the front of the store. Our break room is in the back of the store and the front time clock is in the floral shop which is small and cramped and made for a c...
Had a note posted on our time clock today from our manager stating that he is "sick and tired" of a majority of employees not staying over or coming in when called. And that if you fall into this category you will not be as likely to receive your requests for time off. Anyone else around here...
Does your store manager reward you all for good results? Ex: Perfect mystery shop, outstanding inventory, or just for the heck of it to let you know they appreciate you? Cook outs, gift certificates....etc... Do YOU feel appreciated at your workplace?
Well, I was acting department head for 3 months. During which, one of the mean girls were constantly threatening me over the fact that she wanted another mean girl to get the job. (we have 4 in the deli) She is a shop steward. Said she would use the union to get me fired, then management, then she w...
How many of yous work in retail and when a page comes over the intercom, you and a co-worker plays paper,rock,sissors to see who is going to answer the call? And don't you just love it when you work for a company that has customer service and they can't help the customer so they page someone in another dept...
I posted weeks ago that Kroger and the Union have took my health insurance away, and they have succeeded in doing so. My Union rep insist that they can't do this but hasn't offered any assistance. Ive been there 8 years working approx 32-34 hours a week. They moved me to status 1 full-time which brought t...
I work for Krogers for 25years, been in many defferent depts and stores throughout the Miami Valley Region. At the store that I'm at now one of the dept mgrs is madly in love with the cosmetitian, this is very deficult for other to work with them!
I had an interview for salaried management for Kroger back then. They were running an ad in my local paper, inviting any and all with a Bachelor's degree to throw their hat in the ring....So, I drove some three hours over to Kroger's corporate office, fully expecting success; after all, I also had some...
I wont be on the boards for a bit as Im going to be heading back out on the road today or tomorrow. First off id like to say dont let me discourage you for making lifes choices but just read this and see if any of it fits you. If you have 20 or more years your better off staying put, however for the others remembe...

I work at a Krogers in the Greater Cincinnati / Northern Kentucky Area, where my department manager has a cuple of employees that they can count on to do whatever it takes to get the job done and that they can depend on them every time when they are schedule to work. I guess my question would be.... Why do th...
OKay I fractured my wrist. They refuse to let me work unless I get a full release from a doctor which could be MONTHS. I have a note saying I can do light work. The manager just kept repeating "There is no such thing as light work a Kroger". I thougt he was jokng at first, but no. He was dead serious...
Ok so... I am strongly contemplating taking a demotion from a back-up manager to a staff position. Honestly, I am to the point where I could care less to manage a "three ring circus show" and get I no personal fulfillment from doing so. All I really care about is collecting pay. Currentl...
